Armenia is undergoing a significant period of political and geopolitical change, with important implications for the wider South Caucasus. In this episode of The Geopolitical Review, I’m joined by Professor Rick Fawn to examine Armenia’s recent elections, the country’s evolving foreign policy and its changing relationship with Russia. We also explore the wider regional balance of power, emerging infrastructure projects and the strategic interests shaping the South Caucasus.
